| Cable elevators I once read a recommendation from Mapleshade Audio to keep cables elevated at least 8" (? it could have been 6" ) off the ground , @nonoise and others interested in the wall hanging Mapleshade makes good looking wall cable holders . | |
| Wall outlets @shtr74sims I apologize for responding to a post that I think is just being a contrary , I've never bothered taking the time before but today it just got to me . From your post you are leaning towards going with the Furutech GTX-D NCF that co... | |
| Wall outlets @mc1969 Again you have stated your opinion so what is your point by repeating yourself 3 times other than being argumentative! You are not convincing anybody that they aren't hearing an improvement in their system just because you don't . I wil... | |
| Wall outlets @mc1969 As a retired Biomedical Equipment Technician I understand a little about electricity and electronics . As an ever improving DIY type audiophile I heard a difference , I'm not sure what your point you're trying to make ? But thanks for re... | |
| Wall outlets @mc1969 I too did an outlet shootout test using a 4 gang box , used a Medical grade double cryo'd , a lower grade Pangea , a P.S. Audio and an Audioquest NGR Edison , plugging in the amp only . I had the opposite experience than you , each had ... | |
| Cable elevators I think along the lines of malpai about static electricity , also 51514brad said the more you lift the cable off the floor the less capacitance was measured , I remember Maple Shade recommending cables be at least 8" of the floor . I don't thi... | |
| Thiel Owners https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/smc-audio-mccormack-dna-1-upgrade-experience-r948/ Great review for upgrading your DNA-1 , Does your Sota have the vacuum hold down ? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @owl9113 The VTF recommended is usually a good place to start , you should experiment with a little lighter and heavier , also the anti-skate is controversial issue where you might want to try setting it lower that the VTF , look up Audiogon fo... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Which walls are the front and back. 14ft or 24ft ? Do you have windows on any of the walls ? Floor to ceiling bass traps as others suggest , then in my opinion buy 2 @ 2X4 2" thick absorbers and 2 of the 2D or curved diffusers , then place the... | |
| Thiel Owners I too had thoughts of the " speaker " being black anodized aluminum , which would have looked very cool since I do take the grills off when listening . While the bright aluminum coax's don't look so bad the bright white woofers stand out like a so... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback owl9113 You brought up the Moon LP110v2 , I say go for it , I had the v1 version and it sounded much better than the onboard phono section of my Carver preamp . The v2 has the ability to increase the MM gain from 40 to 50db , this will allow you... | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste Did the loose wire take out one or both ? Was it a wire from the speaker post ? Do Rob explain why the new ones are black ? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback owl9113 The scale will definitely help because even the slightest movement of the tonearm weight can create a large change in VTF . I found that I like my setting to be about 5% over the middle of the range . I have a Tavish design phono preamp... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You jafant While it has been a lot of work I'm sure that without the guiding advice from Tom I wouldn't have made this far or near this successful . All I did was replace the old components with new and higher quality ones and made them fi... |
